more realistic deaths

[JIVA]

@Shagohad:

basicly yes.... when a ship is being destroyed, it can trigger an event. that event can then spawn various effects. - for example:

- fuse: your ship shows a script of explosions as we have them now
- spawning stuff: like the osiris - it can spawn models of chunks... and or simply a model of the ship that was destroyed - or a cloud of debris ( not used really, cause that would put the server to a lot of stress )
- each spawned object can of course have specific properties, like carrying a set amount of a commodity - and/or carry part or all of the cargo of the playership.


all in all - the idea is to make ships - especially big ships - to be more persistent in an enviroment. - in practice however... fights move around quickly - so even if a battleships hull stayed in space ... the fight would quickly move away from its severed hull.


but technically - it is possible... you can spawn any amount of rediculous stuff, too - like you can make a player osiris spawn 4 NPC osiris if you really felt like it.
